LOUGHBOROUGH residents of all faiths and beliefs united outside of Loughborough Town Hall following the Westminster attack.

At 7pm on Friday, March 24, locals met to “remember the lives tragically taken” in London and “to show unity in showing an intolerance for hate mongering, discrimination and extremism”.

Sarah Wiles, a support worker in Loughborough, organised the event. She told the Echo: “There’s been a lot of people spreading hate. Wednesday saw one monster end lives and spread hate towards Muslims as a whole.”

Five people were killed in the Westminster attack, including PC Keith Palmer.

Another demonstration is to take place on Saturday, April 1 at 5pm outside of Loughborough Town Hall in a bid to “promote hope, peace and respect for all”.
